Impact Veltkamp set a new season high with 37 completions and 56 passing attempts. The lead signal-caller had 452 passing yards, marking the first time he has surpassed 400 yards this campaign. The quarterback matched his season best of five passing touchdowns, which he last achieved in Week 2 against Navy. He connected with three different pass catchers for scores and has now reached 20-plus touchdowns across consecutive seasons, leaving him shy of breaking his single-season career mark. He has thrown an interception in two straight contests -- a nearly inevitable outcome given his 56 pass attempts.

Impact Veltkamp orchestrated a massive offensive display against Rice, accounting for four total touchdowns. The quarterback recorded his fourth game with at least three touchdown passes this season while efficiently connecting on nearly 78.4 percent of his throws. His three passing scores brought his season total to 18 touchdowns through the air. He also made an impact with his legs, punching in a one-yard rushing score for his second rushing touchdown of the season and his first since Week 1 against Florida while logging a season-high 11 rushing attempts. He did throw another interception, though it did not prove detrimental as FAU secured a narrow, high-scoring victory.

Three scores in blowout loss Veltkamp was 33-for-48 passing for 318 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 56-24 loss against Army.

Impact Veltkamp started the game on a rough note, throwing an interception on his first pass attempt that eventually led to an early Army touchdown. It was his first pick since Week 1 against Florida, bringing his total to three interceptions for the season. He found his rhythm on the following two offensive possessions, passing for a pair of scores. The quarterback ultimately finished with three touchdown passes, marking his second consecutive game with at least three scoring throws.

Tosses four TDs in first half Veltkamp completed 13 of 16 passes for 247 yards and four touchdowns during Saturday's 66-10 victory over Texas Southern.

Impact Veltkamp was near perfect against Texas Southern, attempting just 16 passes while still connecting for four scores. He once again orchestrated a blowout, allowing fellow backup quarterbacks to take over in the second half. Even with his early exit, he added to his season totals, bringing his marks to 1,427 passing yards and 12 touchdowns with two interceptions. With the well-deserved rest, the quarterback now heads into a bye before facing Army on Oct. 17.

Commanding performance in victory Veltkamp completed 30 of 39 passes for 313 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 45-17 win against Louisiana-Monroe.

Impact Veltkamp couldn't toss a touchdown last week against FIU, but he found success against UL-Monroe's secondary by connecting on two scoring strikes. The quarterback was efficient and has now logged over 300 yards in two of his four starts. After struggling with turnovers last season, he has stayed clean through his last three games following two interceptions in the opener. Due to the lopsided nature of the blowout, he sat out the team's final two possessions as backup Drew Devillier entered the game.

Quiet day in win Veltkamp was 24-for-36 passing for 202 yards during Saturday's 16-10 victory over Florida International. He also had five rushes for -23 yards.

Impact Veltkamp couldn't get past Florida International's secondary, failing to record a passing touchdown for the first time this season. It was a drastic shift considering the quarterback looked unstoppable the previous week while throwing five touchdowns against Navy. On a positive note, he didn't commit any turnovers and led the team to its second win of the season. He will aim to lead the offense to a stronger performance against Louisiana in a Week 4 matchup.

Tosses for five touchdowns in win Veltkamp completed 27 of 32 passes for 386 yards and five touchdowns during Saturday's 38-30 victory against Navy. He also had five rushes for -22 yards.

Impact Veltkamp rebounded well from his season opener, throwing five touchdowns for the fourth time in his career. Interestingly enough, he's thrown for five touchdowns in the game immediately following the season opener in three straight years, so he knows a thing or two about good performances early in the season. The quarterback was dominant against conference foe Navy, connecting with four different receivers for scores as he looks to establish a top passing attack.

Struggles against Florida Veltkamp was 34-for-52 passing for 276 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 66-21 defeat to Florida. He also had six rushes for one yard with one touchdown.

Impact Veltkamp is no stranger to struggling in season openers, as last season he threw four interceptions to begin the 2025 campaign against Maryland. He once again faced a strong team in Florida and wasn't efficient, throwing two interceptions while attempting a staggering 52 passes. However, he did salvage his performance by rushing for a seven-yard touchdown. The bright spot of his night was that he played the entire game, surprisingly not being pulled before the fourth quarter when the score was 38-14 in favor of the Gators. He will look to bounce back against Navy next Saturday in the first conference game of the season for FAU.

SEPTEMBER 6 • Associated Press

Cleared for fall camp Veltkamp (shoulder) has been cleared to participate in fall camp with the team, per FAUSports.com.

Impact Head coach Zach Kittley indicated that Veltkamp has been physically cleared since the spring but had been held out for precautionary reasons. The 6-foot-5 quarterback had a career year for the Owls in 2025, throwing for 3,641 yards and 24 touchdowns to 17 interceptions while adding 45 yards and four scores on the ground as well.

Still recovering from ailment Veltkamp (shoulder) is still recovering from his injury and isn't throwing deep balls this spring, per Yianni Kourakis of WPBF 25 News.

Impact Veltkamp isn't a full go this spring for the Owls. The gunslinger, who tossed for 3,641 yards, 24 touchdowns and 17 interceptions last season while completing 67 percent of his passes, will look to return to full health by fall camp.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

On track to throw in spring game Veltkamp (shoulder) is on track to throw the football during Florida Atlantic's spring game, FAU Owls Nest reports.

Impact After undergoing shoulder surgery, Veltkamp is still recovering, but his health may no longer be an offseason concern should Florida Atlantic's spring game include him. The quarterback has until April 17 to recover, a three-plus-week timeline to get his shoulder right.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Will be limited during spring Veltkamp (shoulder) will be limited until the last two weeks of Florida Atlantic's spring practice, FAU Owls Nest reports.

Impact Veltkamp underwent shoulder surgery, which explains why he is limited as Florida Atlantic's team begins its spring practice. It ends on April 17, so he will spend all of March on the mend. Once the next month hits, Veltkamp is expected to make positive progress, though that does not ensure he becomes 100 percent before spring practice finishes.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to Florida Atlantic Veltkamp is returning to Florida Atlantic for 2026, according to his X account.

Impact Having redshirted 2022, Veltkamp has one year of collegiate eligibility remaining, and he will use its remainder with Florida Atlantic. Transferring from Western Kentucky to FAU did present some challenges for the quarterback, who set a career-high in interceptions with 17 in 2025. However, it is worth noting that Veltkamp threw more than 500 passes for the first time in his career, which also earned him career highs in completed passes (345) and passing yards (3,641). Perhaps with a season of American Conference football under his belt, Veltkamp can be much more reliable in 2026.

Interception struggles continue Veltkamp was 19 of 31 passing for 183 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 42-3 loss against East Carolina. He also had five rushes for -22 yards.

Impact Veltkamp had arguably his worst outing of the season this weekend, throwing for a season-low 183 yards. The junior finished the year with six picks in the last three games, and Saturday was only the second time all year he didn't throw a touchdown pass. Veltkamp totaled 3,648 passing yards, 24 touchdown passes, and 17 interceptions in his first season as an Owl.
